It's all about the cape. The ROTS version was inadequate, especially after seeing how well it could be done with the TFU black version. This new one doesn't look as good as TFU cut, but it's a definite upgrade.

The Imperial guard is the figure that's been done a bunch of times, and never really well...certainly not as well as the vintage version. I'm excited about this new one, since it looks like they've finally nailed it.

I still have to shake my head over that TFU Shadow Guard. It was probably one of the most HTF figures of all time. And even with the TRU exclusive TFU packs, that figure never got repacked. It really was annoying!

Hell I don't think I have seen anything new since TPM. Before that I saw an Echo Base Trooper. So, I think that was remnants of the last "new" wave I have seen other than TPM wave of course. Anyway, I want a few of the Royal Guards for sure. I don't really care for the extra comic book accessories but it's nice that Hasbro included it for those of that you that do. I would not mind TPM wave figures being online exclusives. Not that I don't want them but they are just going to clog the pegs another 8 months.

It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the year turns out with waves 4-7 fighting their ways onto the shelves at the same time.

I don't think that will be the case at all. I seriously doubt waves 4 and 5 will ever hit en masse. If, and that's a big if, new vinty figs hit retail, it will be waves 6 and 7. There won't be multiple waves fighting their way onto shelves. Maybe I'm wrong...
